Description

Plus près que ça de l'original, c'est pas possible !

Une recréation par l'artiste lui-même de ma couverture favorite de Hulk, bien sûr très inspirée d'une couverture des Fantastic Four de Kirby, mais qui s'en soucie quand on ne peut qu'être bluffé par la puissance de celle-ci ?

Il est difficile d'expliquer pourquoi, outre sa longévité sur le titre, Herb Trimpe a fait une si forte impression avec sa version de Hulk. Pour moi, je dirais qu'il a réussi quelque chose d'unique : il a rendu le personnage plus grand que la page !

About Herb Trimpe

Herb Trimpe is a longtime Marvel artist who is best remembered for his work on 'The Incredible Hulk'. He joined Marvel in 1967, after a year in Vietnam and three years as a student at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. He was hired by Stan Lee as a production assistant. His first pencil artwork appeared in the western comic books 'Kid Colt, Outlaw' and 'Rawhide Kid'. Trimpe worked on several titles for the next three decades, mainly on 'The Incredible Hulk', but also on other superhero titles like 'Fantastic Four', 'Iron Man' and 'Defenders'. During the 1970s, he illustrated several Marvel series based on Japanese figures, such as 'Shogun Warriors' and 'Godzilla'. He also pencilled titles like 'Nick Fury' and 'The 'Nam'. In the 1980s he worked on licensed titles like 'Further Adventures of Indiana Jones', 'G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero' and 'G.I. Joe Special Missions', as well as the 'Transformers-G.I. Joe' cross-over. Trimpe left Marvel in 1996, when his regular 'Fantastic Four' title was dropped. After leaving Marvel, Trimpe returned to college to finish his bachelor's degree. He later taught art at Eldred Central School for a period of two years. He has occasionally returned to comic book pencilling, such as 'BPRD: The War on Frogs' for Dark Horse in 2008. Text (c) Lambiek
